Chapter 175: Chapter 45

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Kings of Abyss gathered together once again, surrounding the huge corpse as they discussed amongst themselves.

The King of the first floor in the Abyss, who was also known as “Guardian of Dungeon,” was dead. The corpse lay before everyone.

Some Kings tried to take a bite of it, but in the end, it was only a waste of time. It was extremely tough. Whether they tried to tear or chew, grind or cut, burn or corrode… all efforts were in vain.

After a while, even the greediest King lost interest.

“Why did he die?” the Goddess of Fresh Blood asked. “This is a very important question.”

“Don’t know. He only said that he was doing an experiment and that there would be a result very soon. Then, he said that there was indeed an outcome within expectations… Then he died.” The huge eyeball described everything that it saw.

“Was it due to old age?”

“Did he die of exhaustion?”

“Did someone attack?”

Questions were suggested one after the other. Of course those questions such as “did he die of starvation” were totally ignored.

After discussion, everyone’s consensus was that he was killed. The one who killed the King must have done it silently and been old and experienced. Even though the King next to the corpse didn’t realize it, everyone knew it was him.

Countless pairs of eyes were looking high.

In an indescribably high place, far away on the top of the positive realm in the Ring of World, there was the Wheel of Order which never changed. There was the existence of the unbelievable great, who stayed there since the birth of the Thousand Worlds.

If there were anyone who could have killed him, it would most probably be Him.

The monarchs of devils were silent. Even the most ferocious and competitive ones were at a loss for words.

They weren’t those low-level devils that couldn’t control their emotions at all. Even though they were embodiments of chaos, they had the strength to restrain themselves. They could show a certain level of order and display clearer thoughts.

But that’s why they were getting more upset.

After a while, a huge eyeball whizzed past and dashed towards the bottom of the Abyss, towards the deepest ends of the negative realm in the Ring of World.

The huge earthworm who was also considered Skeleton King’s old acquaintance hesitated. In the end, it followed behind.

“Will they return?” the huge canine who tried to take a chunk from the corpse of Skeleton King but broke its teeth asked.

“They will when they’re confident or brave enough to challenge the Wheel of Order.” In the body of the Mountain of Flesh and Blood, there was a squelching noise, but the body was just a projection, and its shadow was growing faint. “I will take a trip too, but I can’t be as extreme as them. It’d be bad if I couldn’t return.”

“I’ll go too then!”

“Same… Go…”

“Alright! Let’s go!”

Various monarchs moved one after another as huge shadows departing to the deepest corner in the root of the chaotic realm. Even those who didn’t intend to go left gradually.

It was over; there wouldn’t be any benefit, even if they stayed back.

After a while, the only monarch left on the huge world, who was newly put together and still slowly blending in, was the Goddess of Fresh Blood.

The only monarch that looked no different than a human looked up to the sky. The monarch didn’t see the Wheel of Order in the positive realm in the Ring of World. Instead, there was the huge jellyfish dragging a smaller world, bypassing the huge world carefully.

“You b*stard… Where are you from exactly?”

She looked at the world that was slowly moving and looked back where various monarchs’ shadows were growing faint. Then, she let out a heavy sigh.

Sui Xiong was sighing then too.

After a thought, he didn’t opt for a forced breakthrough in the end, but a bypass.

Even though the huge world before him suddenly cracked open, revealing a gap that was sufficient for him and his world to pass through, he didn’t take the chance. That gap was really suspicious. It was like a preplanned trap. It only lacked a handful of paddy. Although Sui Xiong didn’t think he was smart, he wasn’t a stupid bird. It was such a suspicious place that only a stupid bird would go through there.

He dragged the world that grew larger due to the broken pieces from many other worlds, and slowly bypassed the bigger world.

Looking at the huge world, it was impossible to he say he wasn’t green with envy. If he could drag that world along and transform it successfully, then not only his own believers but also all the people in the entire main dimension could move in. He’d give them sufficient living space and resource supplies. And even after that, there would be space left!

But he also knew that it was impossible.

He already felt so strained dragging a small world. He felt as though he was an ant that was carrying a rice grain, trudging back to the nest. If he were to carry that other world… There was an idiom: a Camponotus Lignipardus trying to shake a big tree. Attempting to do what is far beyond one’s power.

Sui Xiong didn’t know what a Camponotus Lignipardus was, but he guessed that it must be an insect. But the difference between the insect and the big tree would be way smaller compared to him and the huge world!

“Such insatiable greed! I already have a surprise harvest, and I think about getting more benefits…” he mocked himself. “I am too much a layman!”

After laughing at himself, he continued to clench his teeth and drag the world that belonged to him. He slowly moved towards the top of the Abyss.

After half a year’s time, he finally bypassed the ridiculously huge world.

Looking at his map, he let out another heavy sigh.

“Still got more to bypass? I’ll die of exhaustion!”

But it wouldn’t work if he didn’t go around it. He was a stranger in a strange land, and he was utterly unfamiliar with his surroundings. He didn’t even know what kind of world was before him. If he dashed forward recklessly, it would be okay if there were some small worlds. But if there were huge worlds guarded by strong monarchs, he might need to flee. By then, his efforts would have been in vain. Dragging a world from the middle of Abyss all the way to the top was just like a bald logistic captain. But he still didn’t give up the idea. He made a clone and flew forward to probe the situation.

He was lucky. He wasn’t blocked by any world for a distance. It was simply a smooth journey. But going forward for another period of time, he saw it was filled with worlds of various sizes, like the uncountable stars thickly dotted in the galaxy.

Obviously, it was no thoroughfare.

He shook his head in distress. He dragged the entire world, slowly bypassing the original route.

Then, it was another half a year.

Luckily, he wasn’t merely going around in circles. He at least advanced partially. All in all, it was about four or five times the route.

Regardless, he finally returned to a reliable route.

“Go for it!”

He encouraged himself. Sui Xiong then continued to advance, following the map.

Looking at the map, he had come a long way. He was near the finishing point. The trek that had once felt unimaginably long was almost over.

But… at the very front, there was another stumbling block!

The surface of the Abyss was covered with huge worlds. The monarchs of these worlds might not have been especially strong, but they were no doubt bellicose. They were the advanced troop of the Abyss, the invasion troop of the negative realm. No matter if the intruder was external or internal, they were always full of the desire to attack.

It wasn’t easy to pass through the territory that they controlled!

But Sui Xiong had no choice. He had to pass.

On the map Bro God of Justice passed to him, he specially pinpointed a slightly weaker world. Although the monarch of that world was very strong, he didn’t possess any creepy unpreventable special power.

The most crucial part was that the world was closer to the surface of the Abyss.

That was very important because it meant that the God of Justice could launch an attack on the world from afar, to attract some firepower.

Sui Xiong went along the map and slowly got closer to the world.

Before he really got close, there were dark clouds surging out. Taking a closer look, there were countless devils, big and small. It was a mess that looked like a cloud.

“The heck… how many devils are there!”

Sui Xiong scoffed and waved his tentacles. He cast some strong spells.

He was naturally stronger than the devils. Every spell cast would knock down a large crowd, but the devils were at the advantage due to their sheer numbers. They could care less if they had thousands of casualties. They wouldn’t be bothered; they didn’t seem to have any concept of alliance or loyalty.

Sui Xiong threw spells in rapid succession and the devil troop fell off like a paddy field reaped by a machine. But no one showed a hint of fear or retreat. In fact, they got more violent and ferocious.

They clamored and bellowed. They made strange movements that no one understood. Then, they slowly got closer to Sui Xiong.

Finally, after sacrificing enough numbers for a commander on Earth to spit blood and for most troops to collapse, they arrived before Sui Xiong.

But it wouldn’t change anything. It was still one-sided. It just transformed from magic suppression into physical suppression.

Sui Xiong expanded his body to be huge. His tentacles were like towering pillars rolling to the left and right. Then, from all sides, the devils perished… but there were more and more.

“They are like the legendary man-eating ants…”

Sui Xiong complained and continued to attack ferociously. He was hoping to wear the devil troop out eventually.

Regardless of the number of soldiers, and no matter how fast they were supplied, they could die continuously and not care!

He slowly realized that he thought wrong. He couldn’t wear them down; the devils really didn’t seem to care at all. After killing for God knows how long, not only did the devil troops not show any hint of decline, but the numbers continued to increase. They had already hemmed him in. Even the small world was invaded. Countless incoming devils and locals in the small world were tied up.

“What the hell!”

Sui Xiong spat and put every one of his tricks to play, plunging the world into complete chaos.

But there didn’t seem to be hope for victory.

Just when he felt weary, there was a dazzling light that shot from outside the Abyss through the world, tearing the devil troops apart. It finally stopped before him.

It was an axe stained with blood that had a few chips.

The God of Justice who was waiting outside the Abyss finally couldn’t hold back and had sent out assistance.
